[Test Library] How to init/free a singleton

[everguet]

Hi,

Where is the good place to initialize / free a singleton in an unit test suite ?

If a add my singleton GetInstante() in the beginning of init_unit_test_suite(), and my FreeInstance() in the end of the method, they are called before executing test cases.

Do I have to add a first test case, which will get my singleton, and a final test case to free it, or is there another way to do it properly ?

Thanks.

The good place to init/release singleton would be a global fixture:

struct MyConfig {
   MyConfig()
   {
      // do init here
   }

   ~MyConfig()
   {
      // do release here
   }
}

BOOST_GLOBAL_FIXTURE( MyConfig );

Where is it defined ? No trace of this macro in Boost v1.33.1.

Thanks.
